Chapter 290 Arrangements (44)

Huang Qishan…

The show "Singer" made her famous, but it also put her in a difficult position!
In the original timeline, much of the show's early hype relied on Huang Qishan's supposedly significant differences. However, Huang Qishan's topicality noticeably weakened later on, perhaps because the audience had become accustomed to it. In the later episodes, the show only relied on her ex-husband's story to generate buzz...

If you watch the first season of "I Am a Singer" now, the titles are basically all about Huang Qishan...

It's normal; after all, "I Am a Singer" is a television program.

Television programs definitely need to have something to offer.

A clear turning point was the appearance of Lin Zhixuan.

After Lin Chih-hsuan took the lead, he won three consecutive games, earning him the title of "Taiwan's Pride" from the Taiwanese media...

Huang Qishan's opponent has arrived; a battle of strength between established players!
This time, Gong Linna delivered a completely overwhelming blow!
Professionally, there's nothing to criticize about Gong Linna, not because she's exceptionally good, but because of the benchmark she's being compared to…

You can question her aesthetic taste, or you can dislike her songs; that's perfectly normal…

Her music lacks aesthetic appeal.

Trust the choices of the masses. Art serves the masses. The music that is truly highly regarded and leaves a lasting mark on people's hearts is never music that is so niche that the general public cannot understand it.

According to Gong Linna herself, she is pursuing a path of "promoting" and "disseminating" culture...

So if she can't resonate with a wide audience, it's simply because she's not good at it; there's nothing else to say.

But if you say her technique or singing skills are lacking, then... that's your problem!

Oh, Shen Yan sang "Wujiapo"...

An additional passage was added in the middle: "A horse left Xiliang Pass, hurrying back to the cold cave to see Baochuan; the Prime Minister's mansion tallied the grain, and they were happily reunited..."

They got second place...

After all, "The Flowing River" is just too amazing!

By the way, in the fourth episode, Shen Yan's interactions with his sister increased significantly.

Director Hong Tao asked, "Who do you think will win first place?"

Shen Li answered without hesitation: "It must be my brother!"

Shen Yan deliberately asked her, "Isn't 'Little River Flowing' your favorite song?"

"I like him, but in my eyes, my brother is number one!"

Near the end, Shen Yan suggested, "Director Hong Tao, could you sponsor some snacks? We're getting really bored in the lounge. Could we eat snacks while listening to music? I'm worried about getting a sore throat from eating oranges all the time!"

Hong Tao's eyes lit up: "We'll seriously consider it!"

……

The fourth episode saw another surge in viewership: an average rating of 3.63%, with a peak rating approaching 5%...

That's right, it was when Shen Yan was singing!
Shen Yan made the suggestion mainly because the copyright of the "I Am a Singer" variety show is shared between Xinghuo Studio and Hunan TV!
Although it only accounts for 10%, it still allows them to share in the advertising revenue generated after the show becomes a hit.

With more sponsors, he can earn more money...

On average, the production cost per episode of "I Am a Singer" is less than 800 million yuan...

The advertising revenue in the first phase was only enough to break even – that was from title sponsorship plus regular daily advertising.

But starting from the second phase, advertising revenue exceeded 1000 million!

The third phase yielded 1200 million, and the fourth phase's returns jumped to 1500 million...

Judging from this momentum, the show's revenue will definitely exceed 100 million yuan before the finale, which is the 13th regular season!

That 10% is 1000 million...

Even if it's just for the money, Shen Yan will still offer a few pointers...

Moreover, he was planning to make a show for his sister and wanted to invite Hong Tao to be the executive producer.

Given her age and experience, it's out of the question for her to participate in large-scale indoor variety shows, including reality shows!

Totally impossible!
Otherwise, shows like "Variety Big Show" and "Who's the Murderer" wouldn't have hired He Jiong as a host. They should just make a smaller-budget variety show that relies mainly on ordinary people to shine…

"Oh My God" is quite suitable!

It's a direct copy of the Korean version of "I Can See Your Voice": Each episode will discover hidden singing talents, with three rounds of competition each episode, and one winner will be selected.

After the contestants' three rounds of performances, the guest singers will eliminate one or two tone-deaf contestants using clues unrelated to the songs they are performing, and select the last person to perform on stage with them.

As a reward, the person who survives to the end will receive a prize of 500 million won if they are tone-deaf, and will have the opportunity to release their music if they are a talented singer.

5 million Korean won is equivalent to less than 30,000 yuan...

A little less.

Then it'll be 10 yuan...

This show will serve as an opportunity for my sister to build connections and for me to showcase my hosting skills...

Of course, this program must be broadcast on a satellite TV channel!

This is where Hong Tao's help comes in...

After all, my sister had no connections at the TV station. The main reason she was able to appear on "I Am a Singer" was because Shen Yan specifically requested her!
According to Shen Yan's idea, "Oh My God!" could totally take over the time slot of "I Am a Singer"...

Oh, Shen Yan's Spark Studio also owns 10% of the copyright to this program…

……

"...You're really popular lately!"

"what?"

The crew of "Battle of Changsha" had just finished filming a scene. Shen Yan was drinking water when director Zhang Li suddenly walked over and said something...

It was all so abrupt and confusing that it left him a bit bewildered.

"...Many friends have asked me about you!"

Shen Yan chuckled: "I've actually become quite famous online lately, mainly for flame wars... Inquiring about me? Inquiring about what?"

Zhang Li asked curiously, "How did you find out that the two Zhangs had a conflict?"

"I figured it out..."

Shen Yan immediately mentioned that Zhang Weiping owed Zhang Yi a share of the box office revenue, and added:
"Zhang Weiping is arrogant and conceited. He looks down on this and that... He even thinks that the box office success of 'Curse of the Golden Flower' is because he hired Zhou Jiejie. That's why he continued to put Xiao Shenyang and Zhao Benshan's team in 'A Simple Noodle Story'... And now he wants to choose the female lead for 'The Flowers of War'... These two will fall out sooner or later!"

"Then...you can't let your sister write film reviews either!"

A voice came from behind him, and Shen Yan quickly stood up: "...Second Uncle!"

"...Your sister is being insulted by a lot of people online!"

Shen Yan chuckled: "That's exactly what needs to happen; if no one criticizes her, she won't have any fame. Just wait for me to post a clarification tonight..."

Oh, my sister posted that "awkward 'The Flowers of War'" post.

Then a bunch of people criticized her for not understanding movies—after all, "The Flowers of War" is considered a good movie by many.

Some people also criticized her, saying, "How could you just open your brother's computer like that? And without his permission, you posted his movie review? Your behavior is really bringing shame to your brother!"

In short, you please neither side...

My younger sister had never experienced anything like this before, and she immediately panicked...

I called my father to tell him.

Hearing Shen Yan say this, her second uncle frowned: "She's a host, as long as she can host the show well, what does fame matter?"

"Second Uncle, there's no future in just being a host. Hunan TV also encourages hosts to develop in multiple areas. With the two of us here, my sister will definitely become an actress and a star in the future... It'll also help her quickly increase her popularity!"

"...Then you decide what to do!"

“Hmm,” Shen Yan nodded, then took out his phone, preparing to comfort his sister…
